CLAIR VAN STEENWYCK , PERPETUAL CANDIDATE

We need
someone who can communicate 
well,
by listening to others.

CLAIR IS NOT 
THAT GUY

Means Well, but 'unable to ​play with others'

Although Claire hasn’t held public office, he is running for one and is asking us to give him our vote.  This allows us to evaluate his character and personality as well as his skill set since he will have to work with others to move the country along in a favorable direction.

Clair is knowledgeable of the constitution and many issues.  I may not agree with him all the time, on occasion believing him to be reading into an issue something I don’t see, but it fits his need at the time. 
​
Finally, no one can have a civil discussion with him.  Clair is a verbal porcupine.  Nobody can talk to him without getting poked.  We need someone who can communicate with people by listening to others. I have tried talking with him.  With Clair, your cup overflows with his thoughts while his cup remains empty of yours.  

Washington won’t work with that.  His ambition is too much with being on the ballot last time for two separate seats, confusing voters, and taking votes from others despite what he says.  He will say statistics don’t back this up, again using something that benefits his position, not yours.  Like the unreasonable gang leader refusing to work on an issue with an opposing gang, his ego demands “Respect” in order to maintain his image in front of the ‘gang.’

Back, when I was working GST, I would organize and coordinate periodic “shake ups” of our gangs. This could be because of several reasons; we have several incidents that need to be investigated, or our Eastside and Westside gangs haven’t been playing nice with each other, to get weapons off the streets, and find our warrant cases.  We did what we could to keep our communities safe.   Ensuring everyone’s safety, both on the 4 or 5 teams I would put together, and those we arrested or detained, you have to know the personalities of those you give assignments and place them accordingly.

Our country is in trouble and the people we send to Washington must be the right ones.  It is my opinion that Clair is not able to play well with others, based on my attempted conversations with him and his ambitions appearing to be too overplayed.  He is the person I would have cover that back door, should someone run out, knowing nobody is home when we “Knock and Notice” but you have to check anyway.  This is called playing it safe.
